So, if your area is anything like mine, pistols are hard to come by right now. About a week ago I had a chance t buy a Shield 9mm brand new but didn't have the funds at that time so I had to pass. Since then, I haven't seen a one anywhere locally.

I'm a Ruger fan myself as I own the LCP and P95 and really enjoy them. I decided to go ahead and get on a reserve list for the LC9 to stay with Ruger but I knew about the "overboard" safeties on the LC9 before hand and I'm okay with it.

Anyway, back to the subject... Is the Shield that good of a gun or is it just the hottest fad/trend right now? I remember when the LCP was in the similar situation and selling like hotcakes too. What makes the Shield so popular? Thanks.
